Abstract

Multicolour fluorescence detection is often necessary in droplet microfluidics, but typical detection systems are complex, bulky, and expensive. We present a compact and modular detection system capable of sub-nanomolar sensitivity utilizing an optical fibre array to encode spectral information recorded by a single photodetector.
